Fire Breaks Out In Axtell Home

Leroy and Axtell fire teams extinguished a house fire early Friday morning. Rhyan Henson with our news partner, KWTX, reported that fire crews responded to the blaze near State Highway 31 and FM 1330 around 3:15 AM.

Officials are working to determine the cause of the fire. The brother of the owner of the home told KWTX that the house had been vacant for around five months.

A downed power line on a truck made it difficult to get to the fire as quickly as the teams would have liked. Further details weren't available on the scene at the time.
